You could have put this in the Humor Category. 😀
My favorite part:
Company will offer the right candidate for party chief $50 per completed field work portion of each mortgage survey if the part time employee provides equipment, vehicle, gas and vehicle insurance. If the company is required to provide equipment or vehicle, please reduce the per mortgage survey fee by $5 for each item not provided.
WOW $50 - $5 (truck) - $5 (gun) - $5 (pin finder) - $5 (data collector) - $5 (computer) ....
>Typical successful full time field crew party chiefs make approximately $40,000 per year.
By my math, 20 jobs per month X $50 per job (if you provide your own vehicle, gas, insurance, equipment, ect) X 12 months = $12,000 per year.
Now, subtract your expenses for providing the vehicle, equipment, supplies?, etc. ... now consider if it's a "contract crew" situation you'll have to pay both sides of the Medicare and SS tax ... Probably barely cracking minimum wage after all is said and done...
They should be able to do at least 5 per day.

OK I've researched them a little. Anyone else want to add more information.
Comments on this should be interesting!
It says in the ad 20 per month. Implies it not a full time job. You'd have to do over 3 per day (240 day work year) to make 40K, minus your expenses and taxes.
>Exacta currently has the ability to perform about 20 surveys per month in the greater Pittsburgh area with about a week of turnaround time.
Gosh, I would love to work:
under the direction of a fantastic licences surveyor in charge
How cool would that be? Probably be interesting to just meet the guy in person!
I could learn surveying from him and he could learn spelling from me.:-D

Just checked the Exacta company name in the Board of Registration license look up and found it is inactive. However the name also brings up "Residential Survey Company, LLC" as an active company. Wonder what the paper shuffle means?
Carl,
Now that's funny. You made my day. I doubt you would learn much surveying from him, though. Not the kind you would want to learn, anyway.

Presumably they have at least one RLS per state. I'll bet it's not more than that.
The BOR in any state where this outfit operates should look into rules and guidelines for what constitutes "direct supervision."
It says the company will provide smart phone and laptop...but it does not say it will pay for the phone bill or software on the laptop.
I'm thinking by the end of the month you will pay them to create their surveys.
P.T. Barnum said it (Maybe)
There's a sucker born every minute.

Maybe he said it and maybe he didn't. Check out the story in the link.
WOW,
I just wasted half that laughing my way through this post. At $50 bucks a shot its going to take a lot just to pay for the robot.
:good: :good:

can you be a non-licensed surveyor and offer surveying services in Pennsylvania?
In Pennsylvania a "mortgage survey' would require a proper boundary survey. Any boundary survey would require a Professional Land Surveyor. There is no doubt that these scumbags are fleecing the public.
In PA, Surveys are not required for property transfers and in my almost 40 years of experience almost all property transfers are made without a survey. We are still using deed descriptions for some properties that were written (and not necessarily surveyed) in the early 1800's.
